Francesco Tremolada
The ski touring traverse of the Fanes Sennes Braies Nature Park is one of the most interesting in the Dolomites.
This itinerary can be done in 3 (or more) days, with different possibilities and variations, staying in the cozy mountain huts Fanes and Sennes.
With Davide we made the crossing at the end of February, with 3 days of good weather, but polar temperatures (at the huts it was -25° the first morning, -21° the other two!).
On the first day, from Capanna Alpina, we climbed the Lavarella peak to descend into the Val Parom at the Fanes refuge.
The second day we crossed the Croda Ciamin, finding a beautiful snow downhill.
On the last day, from the Sennes refuge, we climbed the Piccola Croda del Becco and descended along the Lavina Rossa couloir to Lake Braies.
For the description of the itinerary you can consult the book “Ski mountaineering in the Dolomites“.
